Sisters in Arms

The moments that meet you where you are—but never leave you where they found you.

Lisa Alexander’s story doesn’t begin on the court. It begins with a diary, a pen, and the quiet courage of self-reflection. At eighteen, she was a young mother, studying to become a teacher, writing her way through the complexity of life.

That simple act—making sense of experience through words—became the foundation of her leadership. Years later, as head coach of the Australian Diamonds, she led the team to an extraordinary 81% win rate across nine years. But her true legacy was never just about the victories.

It was the culture.

The “Sisters in Arms” ethos she helped shape still pulses through the team. Like the Sydney Swans’ “Bloods” or the All Blacks’ carved values, it’s a culture built to endure—beyond seasons, beyond leadership, beyond the scoreboard.

In this episode, Lisa shares how values forged in life become the lifeblood of lasting change.
